First Formal Agreement to Use Norway as an International Test Arena for Zero- and Low-Emission Aviation Signed

Norway’s Avinor and the Civil Aviation Authority entered a collaboration to establish the country as an international test arena for zero- and low-emission aviation. On March 4, 2025, they signed the first formal agreement with American aircraft manufacturer BETA Technologies and Bristow Norway AS. The initiative aims to conduct demonstration cargo flights using BETA’s ALIA CX300 eCTOL aircraft. With one billion kroner allocated in the National Transport Plan, the goal is to accelerate the transition to green aviation technologies.
